Feminism / Post feminism
—Feminism = a movement (c. 1960s) promoting the rights of women to be equal to men and arguing that women should no longer dress and behave as men wish them to.
—Post-feminism = movement arguing that women have now achieved equality and should be free to dress and behave as they wish without doing so for the benefit of men. Use of Irony and reclaiming sexuality - not exploitation
Example: Girls Aloud.
Post-feminist icons?
Objects of male gaze?
Exploited or powerful?
Role models for women?

Women manipulate men, making money from them by showing them sexualised images, dominating them and taking advantage of their desires.
When men had control over women, women had to cover up, after feminist schemes, women have more freedom to strip off and do what they want.
Not getting judged as harshly as they would have.
In my music video the women has wooed the man voyergeristically. She will look sexualised, showing that she is free to wear what she wants.
However in contrast to this because all women look the same, they are still controlled by society, dressing how men want them to dress.
